RE: What's your opinion on the Mitsubishi Eclipse?
I've personally have not had enough experience with them to give actual solid advice, but I do remember guys in the states that have owned one say they had more problems than they can remember. It all boils down to how well the car has been kept and maintained. What would be your plans for it if you did buy it?
That's the thing, it's always an issue having to trust the owner's word during a private sale. Another issue is I'm not so comfortable buying without seeing, it's +- a 10 hour drive for me just to go and see it. I mean I did buy my MR2 sight unseen but that was actually a car that I really wanted and was prepared to fix any bullshit the owner didn't tell me about. I was quite lucky with it though, it's got it's issues but the owner was truthful about everything. I think I'm officially over it!
well, just remember, since the Eagle is a USDM car, I have the Repair manual for it if you'd need it :P
I've decided against it, if I really wanted it I would have just bought it like I did with the MR2. I hesitated and sub conscientiously that probably meant I never wanted it. Maybe if it was a 95+ Eclipse it would have been a different story.
ah okay, still maybe something to consider one day, just never get the Mitsubishi badged variant, either the Dodge, Plymouth, or Eagle version, cause AmeriJDM :P
Talking about a Mitsubishi badged variant, look what I found for sale.

maybe, Perhaps at least try test driving it, you'll understand the pain us americans have when we get our imports :P
It's waaaaay too far for me to go test drive it, 20 hour drive :|
aww, but oh well :P
